His Majesty once married me

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and seeing that February was coming to an end, Steward Zhuang finally returned to the capital.

On the day when he got the news, Ouyang found a reason to go back to his mansion outside the palace.

When he got home, Ouyang left all the people brought out from the palace in the front yard, and strolled into the back yard by himself.

Steward Zhuang was already waiting at the second door in the backyard. Seeing Ouyang come back, he immediately bowed in a dignified manner.

Seeing Steward Zhuang, Ouyang blurted out, "Hey, you've lost weight!"

"You'll lose weight after going out for two months!" Zhuang steward straightened up and replied angrily, "Why don't you go out for a walk yourself next time this happens?"

"If there is a chance, I really want to go out and relax." Ouyang Xin said with emotion.

"What happened?" Zhuang Butler was taken aback.

"It's nothing." Although Ouyang trusts Steward Zhuang, it's not easy to share the privacy of the bed with him, so he immediately changed the subject, "Where's the ugly cow? It's not on you?"

"I've sent it to Su Su's place." The housekeeper Zhuang replied, "I've been a lonely ghost for almost two months, and now I want to smell my daughter's fragrance - he said so, what else can I do?" What to do?"

"Can he smell it?" Ouyang curled his lips, "Forget it, leave him alone, let's go into the room and talk about business!"

The two of them didn't suffer from the cold in the snow, they turned around and went into Ouyang's house together.

After entering the room, the butler Zhuang poured a cup of hot tea for Ouyang and himself, and then held the teacups and slowly talked about the experience of the past two months.

The way back and forth is very smooth, even if you encounter some thieves, it is not worth mentioning.But Steward Zhuang didn't go into too much detail about what happened to Lao's house, he only said that he finally borrowed the hands of a group of local bandits and arranged the situation for the sake of money, and he was the only branch of Lao's house I did it myself, and took the genealogy of Lao's family to compare one by one to make sure nothing went wrong.

"Since it is unavoidable to do it yourself, why do you need to find some scapegoat and spend extra effort?" Ouyang couldn't help being suspicious.

Steward Zhuang had a fat face and smiled shyly, "The reason why I ask for help is not to save trouble, but to see some unpleasant filth, and I have some delusional thoughts on the spur of the moment, wanting to do some righteous deeds for the heavens. .”

Ouyang was speechless for a while, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "What's going on?"

Steward Zhuang touched the teacup, and finally explained the cause and effect with a face of shame.

Although the four brothers of the Hu family have also been to the place where Lao's family is located, the four of them have only been watching flowers on horseback, and their understanding of human beings is limited to the superficial. The Lao family slaughtered all of them, and the rest were either blood relatives of the Lao family or lackeys of the Lao family.

The Lao family has never given up their desire to make a comeback, but the money and food in their hands are limited, which is not enough to support them to continue recruiting troops.Under this restraint, Lao's family came up with a vicious method of cutting off their children and grandchildren - going to the surrounding villages and county towns to plunder the children, kidnapping them back to the Lao family's headquarters, and training them as private soldiers.

The patriarch of the Lao family, the former successor Lao Xin also knew that he was getting old, and it was unrealistic to have any plans in his own life, so he pinned his hopes on the next generation.The reason why they ordered people to capture a group of child soldiers is also because such child soldiers are easier to change their minds, be educated and controlled, and when they grow up, they will be more loyal and easier to work for their family. When they are handed over to the next generation to use Will be more at ease.

But Lao Xin's idea is very ideal and bright, but all the subordinates and juniors in the family have long lost his indomitable heart and ambition.Laoxin told them to rob the child, so they captured the child's mother and sisters, hacked the child's father to death, and brought back the family's money.

When Steward Zhuang arrived, he saw a den of wolves who raped and looted.

Butler Zhuang followed Ouyang II, and his hands were inevitably bloody. However, most of the killings were on the battlefield, and the rest of the time was due to grievances. Basically, there was a big premise - if you don't die, I can't live, live more not good.Even this time, it was the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair to use people's money to eliminate disasters.

It is also because of this that the housekeeper Zhuang was a little reluctant about this errand, but it was not until he arrived at the destination and saw such a scene that was not as good as a beast, that the housekeeper Zhuang really had a murderous intention, and he wanted to kill Lao's family from the bottom of his heart. uprooted.

But it would be too cheap for them to just kill them.

After discussing with Chou Niu, Steward Zhuang found a group of bandits with a large number of bandits from nearby, and used hypnotic spells on these bandits, making them copy all the evil deeds that Lao's family had done. Lao Xin's family.After Lao's family had finished what they deserved, the housekeeper Zhuang did it himself, making up for each name according to the names recorded in the genealogy, to ensure that the tasks assigned to him by Ouyang were not neglected.

Afterwards, the butler Zhuang ransacked Lao's house and gave a small part of it to the bandits as a reward, and hid the rest elsewhere for the time being.

After listening to Steward Zhuang's words, Ouyang twitched the corners of his mouth and asked indifferently, "Is it interesting?"

"It was very interesting at the time." Steward Zhuang laughed dryly, "But when I think about it afterwards, I feel that it was not really interesting, and I wasted a lot of time. I was so tired that the master waited for a long time."

"It's good to know." Ouyang snorted coldly, "an executioner is an executioner, it's enough to raise the knife and drop it, don't think about the job of a judge before you finish your job. This time, it's just that you happened to meet a bad guy when you killed someone , if Lao’s family didn’t do such evil, or even do good to the world, wouldn’t you be able to let them live?”

"Of course it's not possible." Zhuang Steward admitted his mistake honestly, "Who eats and does the work. What the master asked me to do, even if it would damage my morality for eight lifetimes and give birth to a son without assholes, I will definitely do it. Do it right!"

"It's as if you can still give birth to a son." Ouyang gave Steward Zhuang a pair of eyes.

Butler Zhuang chuckled, but after laughing, he put away his smile and said seriously: "I also brought some things back from Lao's house this time, master should take a look."

After finishing speaking, Steward Zhuang took out a stack of letters from his sleeve and put them in front of Ouyang.

Ouyang looked at Steward Zhuang suspiciously, picked up the letters, flipped through them casually, and then found that these letters were all written by others to Lao.

The contents of the letters are different, some are just empty and boring polite words, while others are detailed cooperation agreements.

In view of the fact that Lao Xin is dead and Lao family is gone, the contents of the letters have lost their meaning. What really deserves attention is the writers of these letters—almost every inscription is familiar to Ouyang.

Thinking about the family background and marriage relationship of these people, Ouyang found that he could overthrow at least half of the newly appointed officials under Qi Yunheng's hands with the letter in his hand.

However, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Even if all these people are pulled down, it cannot ensure that the newly replaced officials will be more loyal, reliable, and capable than these people. Throw it again when it is time to make it a thunderbolt.

Ouyang went through it again, and threw those irrelevant letters back to the table one by one, and finally there was one left that he couldn't ignore.

The sender of this letter is Yang Dejiang.

At first glance at this name, Ouyang thought it was the same name.But after reading the contents of the letter several times, Ouyang concluded without a doubt that this was Yang Dejiang whom Emperor Xinghe wanted to kill quickly.

Yang Dejiang's letter was written three months ago, and the content is that Chaolao letter cries for poverty, saying that he has no money, and if he wants to find an official, he has no money to go to the homes of the new rich, and then bluntly let Lao Xin sent him some yellow and white things, so that he could knock on the door, find an official position, and gain a foothold in the court of the new emperor.

"Only this one?" Ouyang shook the letter in his hand towards the housekeeper.

"It should be more than that." Zhuang steward replied, "There are a lot of letters. I figured that you might not have the patience to read them all, so I picked a few of the most worthwhile ones and brought them over. The rest are in secret letters in the warehouse." room. If you are interested, you can always go over and look for it.”

"You didn't interrogate Lai Xin, ask him what happened to these letters?" Ouyang asked with a frown.

"Back to the master, I started digging things after I dealt with the people." The housekeeper Zhuang looked innocent and helpless, "I remembered that during the interrogation, there was no one to question."

Ouyang frowned depressedly, but he didn't mean to blame Steward Zhuang.

Steward Zhuang is here to kill people, not to investigate cases, and to be able to bring back these letters is already an overfulfillment of the task.

But Ouyang couldn't put this letter down like other letters.Firstly, it was because Yang Dejiang was originally on the revenge list of Emperor Xinghe, and secondly, it was because Yang Dejiang was currently living in Qin Guogong's mansion, serving as a guest of Qin Guogong, but Qin Guogong was related to the fake Yuxi, and was killed by Qi Yunheng. Stamped with a malicious seal.

Ouyang knocked on the table, quickly released his consciousness, and called Wu Da, who was staying in the mansion, over.

"That Yang Dejiang and Yan Zhiwen, are you still watching?" Ouyang asked bluntly.

After finding out the whereabouts of the three families, although Ouyang only sent Steward Zhuang to eradicate Lao Xin's family, he did not let go of the remaining two families. On the one hand, he issued an order for his men in other places to investigate Yan Yongchang who was at home. and his second son Yan Zhiwu who was stationed outside; on the other hand, let Wu Da and Wu Er use the birds in their hands to keep a close eye on Yan Yongchang's eldest son Yan Zhiwen in the capital and Yang Dejiang who was eating and drinking in Qin Guogong's mansion.

"I've been staring at you all the time!" Wu Dao said, "It's just that you haven't asked me for so long, the little guys may be staring a little...loosely."

"It doesn't matter if you relax a bit, just don't stare at them." Ouyang said, "Since you are still watching, it means that neither of these two people has left the capital, and they are still in the capital?"

"It should be." Wu Da scratched his head uncertainly, "Anyway, Xiao Hui and Xiao Dian, who were in charge of following them, have never returned. Given the airspace of the two of them, if the two of them leave the capital, they will definitely not be able to Follow all the way, you can only fly back to find me."

"Keep watching, and try to draw their daily itinerary into blueprints for me." Ouyang ordered, "One per day."

"Understood, I'll tell those two little guys to start drawing tomorrow." Wu Da nodded in response.

Ouyang didn't give any more instructions, and Wu Da didn't delay in the mansion, he turned around and took the order to leave.
